though it'll be up to Nintendo and developers to put that to good use. In case you're still not convinced of the Wii U's graphical prowess, Crytek has said its advanced CryEngine is "pretty much" up and running on Nintendo's upcoming console -- and, if it's good enough for Crysis, it should be good enough for you.

If it can run Crysis I just have to see what developers can pump out for the Wii U.

CryEngine is 8 years old dude. That's no feat.

Also, CryEngine is Far Cry, not Crysis. Crysis is Cryengine 2, a completely different engine.

And if is can run Cryengine 2, then it'll be a dumbed down one with shitty graphics.

It'll be cryengine 3 that's running on it, the console version of the engine.

In that case, what a wank article! I mean, we all know it's about the same, if not better than the PS and Xbox in terms of raw power. Why would it's ability to run a game we can run anyway warrant an article?

Give it the original Crysis to run and watch it fucking shit itself!!!

I dont know any technobabble speak, but wouldnt a game like Metro 2033 be a better use of a graphics benchmark than Crysis? The whole "ultra" setting thing

No matter how you spin things, a Power 7 based CPU (natively quadcore) and a Radeon HD based GPU (whether its from the 4000 or 5000 series remains to be seen, but I believe its going to be the Cypress core) The Wii U is still at least 3 times more powerful than the 360 and PS3. If you want to disagree with me and ignore reason and logic, go ahead.
